The fight on Hamill's side was timely. The news was broadcast live, and by the time it ended, only the devastated factory area remained. However, according to the news reports, the explosion occurred two hours ago.
That naturally meant the fighting had been ongoing two hours prior.
Bai Ye then continuously switched channels, trying to find other news broadcasts, but found nothing.
This indicated that Li Jiayi had not been caught, or perhaps all the God's Messengers were pursuing Hamill.
Bai Ye tilted his head in thought. It seemed to have little to do with him; having someone else draw fire was all the better.
Next, Bai Ye instinctively took out the Life Crystal.
Life Crystal (??) /
Bai Ye looked at the screen and could only see question marks, much like when he scanned God's Messengers with the bio-mask; he couldn't obtain any information at all. It was incredibly mysterious.
Therefore, he remained completely in the dark.
Although he knew the Life Crystal must be something significant, otherwise it wouldn't be fought over, without any information, Bai Ye couldn't make any deductions.
After pondering for a while, Bai Ye felt Yimi's approach was quite sound.
Who cared what its use was? Since the God's Messengers wanted it, it must be something good. Therefore, he wanted it too.
Not happy about it?
Then fight!
Well, the thought had barely formed when Bai Ye suppressed it.
Bai Ye felt it was better to lie low. He could hold his own against two, even potentially counter-kill them, but facing four? That would be like nightmare difficulty.
The best option now was to lay low until the Nine Heavens Wish mission ended, and then things would naturally dissipate. As for the God's Messengers relentlessly pursuing him? He would deal with that later.
Bai Ye looked at the woman and asked, "Where's the bedroom?"
The woman's tears flowed freely. It was coming, it was coming. The beast couldn't resist any longer and was going to make his move.
Then...
The woman led Bai Ye into the bedroom. To her surprise, Bai Ye walked straight to the bed, flopped down, and immediately fell asleep!
The woman: "??"
For a moment, the woman began to doubt herself.
Had her facial cleanser lost its appeal? Was her slender waist no longer alluring? Had her fair, toned long legs been unappealing for a year?
This definitely wasn't a man, or at least not a functional one, even if he looked like one.
The woman swiftly concluded this, her eyes then lit up as she realized this was a perfect opportunity to escape!
The woman began to creep towards the door, intending to leave. But the moment she reached it...
Gengar suddenly dangled upside down from the ceiling, its cavernous maw appearing before the woman.
The woman instantly collapsed to the floor, screaming, "A ghost!"
"Don't scream so loudly!" Bai Ye turned over and said, "The louder you scream, the more he'll want to eat you."
Hearing this, the woman quickly shut her mouth, covering it tightly with her hands.
Bai Ye continued, "As long as you stay in the room, he won't hurt you. You can even sleep."
After speaking, Bai Ye adjusted his posture and continued to sleep.
As for the woman?
Was he sick?
How could she possibly sleep in this situation!
But Bai Ye no longer paid attention to the woman, sleeping soundly until dawn. Waking up naturally felt good. He then glanced at the woman, who was sitting in the corner hugging her knees, dark circles under her eyes.
Bai Ye gestured with his hand and said, "Go to the living room."
The woman seemed somewhat numb, obediently getting up and following Bai Ye out of the bedroom and into the living room.
Once in the living room, Bai Ye turned on the television again to watch the news, while simultaneously taking out the Hunter's name card to review the information on the Hunters.
First, the God's Messengers didn't seem to be looking for him yet.
Second, Li Jiayi was also safe.
Third, Hamill, the unlucky fellow, seemed to have been pursued all night.
After the factory, a residential area in the northwest was also completely destroyed. The Hunters could no longer stand by and watch, deploying personnel to encircle and suppress the attackers, resulting in several casualties.
Whether it was Hamill or the God's Messengers who did it didn't matter; there was some internal turmoil within the Hunters. The intelligence network was flooded with useless information, all venting negative emotions.
Then, after the factory, a cross-river bridge was also destroyed.
It was clear Hamill had been on the run. This guy was tougher than imagined, but the God's Messengers were relentlessly pursuing him.
In Bai Ye's view, both sides must be having a headache right now.
The God's Messengers were powerful. Let alone four of them, Bai Ye felt that Hamill and Situ Chicheng were evenly matched in a wrestling match.
However, Bai Ye believed the God's Messengers were also quite frustrated; Hamill was truly difficult to kill.
His hyper-regeneration ability was simply monstrous. Furthermore, Hamill possessed bat-like wings for flight and could transform into a bat to escape, especially at night.
Night was crucial. Regardless of the world battlefield, creatures like vampires naturally became stronger at night.
But now that it was daytime, Hamill would weaken. Vampires feared sunlight.
Hamill's bloodline was very pure; he was a vampire prince, a direct descendant of Cain. Sunlight couldn't kill Hamill. For Hamill, sunlight was more of an annoyance than a fear.
Of course, it was also a fact that Hamill's strength would be weakened under sunlight, so whether Hamill could last through the day was uncertain.
As Bai Ye gathered information, he also took out the gashapon machine.
A new day had begun, and drawing gashapon was an essential form of entertainment.
However, with Steel Slime having just been upgraded to red quality, Bai Ye didn't have much to look forward to at the moment.
Damn it, one million growth points!
No matter what he drew, Steel Slime couldn't possibly become golden quality.
"Come on!" Bai Ye waved at the woman. "You know how to play gashapon, right? Draw three for me!"
Then...
The gashapon machine overloaded again!
The first gashapon was red, a greatsword from a magic world. The effects were decent, though Bai Ye didn't really have much use for it.
Bai Ye had flying swords and a light saber. What use was a greatsword?
However, Bai Ye sensed something subtle.
Then...
The second draw, a brilliant golden light.
Otherworldly Candy (Item) (Golden): Eating it will have an unexpected effect and a chance to gain otherworldly power.
Effects:
Fortitude (Increases all physical attributes except intelligence by 20 points) (100%)
Intellect (Increases intelligence by 1 point) (10%)
Otherworldly Shockwave (0.1%)
Otherworldly Teleportation (0.1%)
Otherworldly Clone (0.1%)
A golden-quality item. This could be a bug exploit, as the effects were permanent after consumption. It was absolutely one of the best of the best items. Just think of the Mera Mera no Mi, or the Goro Goro no Mi.
Using the gashapon machine to obtain items could truly change one's fate sometimes.
This time was no exception, though compared to Devil Fruits, this time it was a gamble on luck.
Gambling on that 0.1% chance!
